UFC on FUEL TV 6 lineup set with 10 bouts, main card official with six fights

UFC on FUEL TV 6, which takes place Nov. 10 in the special administrative region of China, features a main event between former middleweight champion Rich Franklin (29-6 MMA, 14-5 UFC) and former Strikeforce middleweight titleholder Cung Le (8-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC).

The event takes place at Venetian Macau Resort Hotel’s CotaiArena. FUEL TV carries the main card live early in the U.S. at 9 a.m. ET (6 a.m. PT) following Facebook prelims at 7 a.m. ET.

In addition to the night’s main event, which is a fight originally planned for UFC 148 before Franklin was moved to the UFC 147 main event, UFC on FUEL TV 6 includes a light-heavyweight fight between Stanislav Nedkov (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Thiago Silva (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) in the co-main event slot.

A previously unreported main-card fight sees South Korean newcomer Kyung Ho Kang (11-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC) make his UFC debut against “The Ultimate Fighter 12″ cast member Alex “Bruce Leeroy” Caceres (7-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC). Kang makes his UFC debut on the strength of a 5-1 streak, which has included three straight submission victories in 2012. Caceres dropped a decision to Edwin Figueroa at UFC 143 thanks to a two-point deduction, but he rebounded at UFC on FUEL TV 4 in June with a submission win over Damacio Page.
